Mission Statement

The purpose of the Master of Education in Reading and Literacy is to increase scholarly and professional knowledge about literacy development, learning, and teaching in monolingual, bilingual, and multilingual contexts. The program provides graduates with a deep understanding of:

  1. The ways that literacy is constructed socially, culturally, and ideologically in an increasingly globalized world.
  2. Language and literacy development across multiple linguistic and cultural contexts.
  3. Instructional design, delivery, and assessment in literacy education for students with diverse backgrounds including students from culturally diverse backgrounds, emergent bilinguals and multilinguals, transnational students, and those with reading difficulties or challenges.
  4. Effective oral and written communication for scholarly and professional purposes; collaboration with administrators, literacy colleagues, parents/families, and community members; and leadership skills and techniques.
